WHICH PATTERN IS BEST FOR THE OUTSOLE OF MY HIKING SHOES?

The outsoles of your hiking shoes are often more important than anything else, since your shoes must be able to deal with rugged terrain. In general, there are two types of outsoles you should be looking out for if you want maximum performance.

Lugged outsoles - A lug pattern is often preferred for anyone who wants to go hiking in a mountain environment. Outsoles with a lug pattern tend to provide the wearer more grip, but they also prove incredibly useful in muddy environment, as the lug pattern evacuates any mud more effectively.

Heeled outsoles - Outsoles with a special heel zone are extremely suitable for an environment with steep declines and hills. By separating the heel from the rest of the foot, hikers will have more control while they descent. In fact, it greatly reduces the chance of slipping, which is why these kind of hiking shoes recommended for anyone who goes hiking in an area with steep inclines and declines.
